4141.41
Secretary of state is agent of employer for service of process - comity between states.

Any nonresident employer who exercises the privilege of having
one or more individuals perform personal services for the nonresident employer
within this state and any resident employer who exercises that privilege and
thereafter removes from this state shall be deemed thereby to appoint the
secretary of state as the employer's agent and attorney for the acceptance of
process in any civil action under this section. The director of job and family
services in instituting an action against any such employer shall cause such
process or notice to be filed with the secretary of state and such service
shall be sufficient service upon such employer, and shall be of the same force
and validity as if served upon the employer personally within this state;
provided the director shall forthwith send notice of the service of such
process or notice, together with a copy thereof, by registered mail, return
receipt requested, to such employer at the employer's last known address, and
such return receipt, the director's affidavit of compliance with this section,
and the copy of the notice of service shall be appended to the original of the
process filed in the court in which such civil action is pending. The court in
which such action is pending may grant continuances to afford such employer a
reasonable opportunity to defend the employer's interests.

The courts of this state shall recognize and enforce
liabilities for unemployment contributions imposed by other states which extend
a like comity to this state.

The attorney general may commence action in any other
jurisdiction by and in the name of the director to collect unemployment
contributions, forfeitures, and interest legally due this state. The officials
of other states which extend a like comity to this state may sue for the
collection of such contributions in the courts of this state. A certificate by
the secretary of state under the great seal of the state that such officers of
the department as designated by the director have authority to collect the
unemployment contributions shall be conclusive evidence of such authority.

No person residing in this state shall willfully make a false
statement or representation or knowingly fail to disclose a material fact to
obtain or increase benefits or payments under the unemployment insurance law of
any other state.

The attorney general may commence action in this state as agent
for or on behalf of any other state to enforce judgments and liabilities for
unemployment insurance taxes or contributions due such other state if such
other state extends a like comity to this state.
